Bangladesh is looking into legal action against Al Jazeera for spreading misinformation, says Foreign Minister Dr AK Abdul Momen.
"Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina had never appointed anybody as her bodyguard. Her party (AL) men are always her bodyguards," said Dr Momen referring to August 21 grenade attacks on her when party men protected her, not bodyguards.
Al Jazeera has lost its credibility by running such a story completely based falsehood, misinformation, he said.
Qatar-based news channel Al Jazeera published a report titled "All the Prime Minister's Men" on Monday.
The government of Bangladesh termed the report as a politically motivated smear campaign. Bangladesh Army Headquarters on Tuesday strongly denounced the report of Al-Jazeera, saying it was part of a move to break the harmony among different government organs.
